Re: Will a High Output Alternator Fry my car's Electrical System?

Feg...lawl, So did you ever finish your ****? Im bout to get serious about competeing, Im gonna try to get my hands on 2 10" Hype R's and I have a second 1200d, and Im gonna strap my 2 1200Ds together at .5 ohms and run them on a pair of the 10's, Hopefully with a little testing and a lot of MDF, Ill break a 50

#1 if you are wired right with fuses, It would not matter how many amps you push. #2 that's what the alt. regulators job is and when it fails, usually it is a bad diode then it does not send any current under that diodes circuit.#3 larger than oem alt. have been put in cars long before this forum has existed.

Man that looks like a BBQ pit!

If someone put that in they would be getting the bill form me or a trip to court.

One word to the noobs. "If your Voltage Regulator fails" you better have a fuse inline between the alt and battery or your cooking your wiring!

You need "Two" 250 amp fuse holders/ One before and one after or you get what he just posted.

Notice how much bigger it is "32lbs". Yes it can hit 300amps but thats cold not after its hot! They rate it as a 215amp cause thats real world amps!

I seen to many post on Alt failer from some cheese head company that throws numbers around like that means anything. Kinda like some companys say they put out amps rated at 2000watts and we know what to look for to avoid that crap!
